this reminds me USA elections in 2016... Shadrina got 143 points, Yang got 137 (142 without deduction). but the winner is Yang with less points

The draw judges aren’t taking priority. They have the same weight. If one of those votes blue instead of red it’s a win for blue

 

I I think what some are trying to argue is the penalty for a warning should be bigger. That’s a different argument altogether 

What I'm saying is that if they can't split it on points it should only matter who they favour if that needs to be a tie breaker. 

 

I get that they are picking a winner technically. I just think that there needs to be a better system, especially to explain it to more casual viewers.

 

Even if that system was giving their winner an extra point, simply because they are the winner.

Then we’d have the same people saying “why are they giving them an extra point?” etc

 

You need 3 judges to say you won most rounds. If you can’t get that, the judges decide who won the fight. I honestly don’t see it as that complicated tbh

It's not that complicated, but it goes against what most people who aren't Americans think about sport, which is the concept of a draw.

 

Essentially I just think the way the scoring system is presented causes more problems than it solves.

Medal for Harrington again for second consecutive Olympics. And Ireland’s third medal of these Games secured

Dissapointing results for Tammara Thibeault, losing a close 3-2 split decision against Cindy Ngamba.

 

I actually don't think the result was unfair (to me this was a fight that could have reasonably been given either way), just an unfortunate draw for Thibeault.

Zeyad Ishaish defeats Okazawa

Okazawa was doing freakshow more than anything. He was making faces all match, didnt show almost nothing.

Deserved loss.

I am happy that he lost. He has given Indian boxers a tough time with his freakshows.
